Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, regulates mobilehome parks and generally subjects management of a mobilehome park to all park rules and regulations to the same extent as residents and their guests. In this regard, if a rule or regulation prohibits either renting or subleasing by a homeowner, existing law prohibits management from renting a mobilehome it owns, except to house onsite employees, avoid a vacancy, or continue a rental agreement executed before January 1, 2022, as specified. Existing law exempts from these provisions mobilehomes and mobilehome sites restricted to affordable housing uses in a park owned by specified nonprofit, government, or other qualified entities, as provided.
This bill would additionally exempt from the above-described provisions a mobilehome park that is located in a city or county that is, or has been in the prior year, under a state of emergency or local emergency, or that is located in an adjacent city or county. The bill would specify that this exemption would apply for the duration of a tenancy in which the tenant is using the mobilehome as their personal and actual residence.
The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.
